NSSDC Photo GalleryGalileo False-Color Moon Image Caption

The image is a three-filter false-color image produced from Galileo
Solid State Imager (SSI) data. It was created by Dr. Edwin V. Bell, II
(NSSDC/Raytheon ITSS), from separate filter images present on the
Galileo Imaging CD-ROMs.
It was produced by combining colorized versions of the green, red, and
infrared (9680 nm) filters of the SSI. The green filter was colorized as
blue, the red filter as green, and the IR filter as red and the
resulting images combined. The software used to colorize and blend the
individual images together was Color It!.
